Kohlrabi, a nutrient-dense cruciferous vegetable, originates from Northern Europe and is widely used in German, Indian, and Eastern European cuisines. Known for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and crisp texture, this versatile veggie is related to cabbage, broccoli, and kale. Kohlrabi is rich in vitamin C, strengthening immunity and promoting skin health, and is a good source of fiber, aiding digestion and satiety. It also contains potassium for heart health and antioxidants that help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. With low calories and virtually no fat, kohlrabi is a great addition to a balanced diet. Its edible bulb and leaves can be enjoyed raw, roasted, steamed, or stir-fried, making it a flexible ingredient in salads, soups, and side dishes. However, individuals prone to thyroid conditions may want to moderate consumption due to the presence of goitrogens.
